The main thing i`ve found in he last few weeks is this... denying yourself food that u love makes you want it more..been very strict with diet for 3 months and last week i put 2lb on..even with working out etc, so for the last week ive just eaten what i fancied in smaller portions (weighing is best) and this week i lost…

i`ve noticed a huge difference in my taste buds..my daughter gave me a walkers salt and vinegar crisp and it was so salty..yuk and i have to have half sugar in a cuppa tea, otherwise it tastes like its got 4 sugars in it. Have no clue why my taste buds have changed but i`m assuming its because i am not eating a lot of…

I`m loving this thread as I can see the difference in menus between our different countries,there`s few things i`ve never heard of before, i think from people in the states (going to google them and widen my knowledge), and i can also tell which people are from here in sunny england (sorry i mean freezing) due to you…

I have seen the protein shakes/powder in our supermarket, but not sure which on to get, there is maxi build and maxi muscle i think and theres a whey protein in powder. I would love to try shakes especially with fruit etc, i think that would be the best for me, if i can make it the night before then the blender wouldnt…

only a little bit, but if i dont eat anything then i feel light headed and really hungry by 8am and i cant have anything to eat till 9.30 when i get home from work. I really need something to eat before work as its a very physical job (cleaning in a supermarket).

Zumba is a big part of my exercise routine now,my gym does a class nearly every day. It burns loads of cals, you have good fun doing it plus it has given me the confidence to do other types of dancing..I now do tap dancing in a mothers troupe at the dance school my daughter goes to, plus funtap and soft shoe dance. Give it…

I lost 2lb this week and 0.7% Body fat...seems to be working, going to do the same for the next week and will see what happens! Eating half exercise cals for me then!

Last week i didnt eat them back and i only lost 1lb despite working out and doing one exercise class a week, so...this week i`ve been eating half my exercise calories back and will see today if its made any difference!! i only get weighed once a week, so we`ll see!! Will post later and let you know how i get on.. x shelly

I`ve just started eating my exercise calories back aswell. Only lost 11b last week even after doing several aerobics classes and treadmill etc and sticking to 1200 cals. I lost more when i was just following the 1200 cals. I cant manage to eat all my exercise calories but have mostly gained half, so will see what happens…

Hi, i`ve just joined to, I`m from cumbria. Have made a goal but no idea how much it is in pounds..just taking each day as it comes! Add me if you like, i could use some uk friends too!! x shelly

Thanks though, i think i understand it now, although i`d never heard of eating the calories that you`ve burned in exercise before, maybe i`m not eating enough then?? I only see my trainer once a week and do the rest myself at the gym, they do lots of different classes so i dont get bored, and i am loving MFP, as i can keep…
